(214)Chapter 3.5.5 – The Three Headed Dog. (Part 8)

  An unforeseen event that both of them didn’t expect to happen as the foul beast from one of his ugly, disgusting and despicable mouths, he shoots a Shadow Ray aimed at the Hero, at my Hero. He could’ve easily dodged this pathetic spell as he is far stronger than the beast, his reflexes because of it far surpass those from the beast, allowing him to see said spell before it even left the magic circle yet, because of someone, he was not able to act accordingly. Instead, all of his options, possible actions, movements, protection, anything that he could’ve done to prevent this was thrown to the ground, stepped on afterwards as his only available action in his kind mind was to stay still, allowing himself to get hit by such a despicable spell. I know for who he did this selfless sacrifice and luckily for him, she’s also aware of it. Indeed, it’s no other fault than the one that the one he calls by “Miss Pink Orb”, and such realization is why-

  “HERO!!!”

  She screams at the top of her lungs as she realises what happened, at what she allowed to happen. He could’ve dodged the Shadow Ray quite comfortably as the foul beast is nowhere near a good condition to do such a despicable act with enough speed that would catch him by surprise or simply faster than he could react to it. However, since she was in the way of such a spell, there was no way that our, my kind Hero would dodge and allow her to get hit. No, he couldn’t allow for such tragedy to happen, he has sworn to protect her and he will die doing so.

  But he still got directly hit by a magic spell whose rank is in the S realm…

  This is the ignorant thought that crosses her mind as a black cloud surrounds the area where he should be. The previous dust cloud that was present was gone the moment the magical explosion happened, one that was powerful, violent and terrifying for those who would see it, but a complete disaster to the ones that would be hit by it. Ah, they would’ve been decimated, nothing would be left behind. The ground beneath it was reduced to ashes as the magic ray travelled above it, with speed that no normal human can even see it traveling, let alone react to it as it flies towards him. In fact, even an S rank adventurer would have trouble reacting to it as his only option would be to defend against it, while praying to whatever god he believes that he can survive such a horrifying magic attack. No, the only one that I allow to pray to me is only my Hero, he’s the only one who can do such an act. The rest of them… There are several gods who they can pray to instead.

  The Hero was hit by such a terrifying spell…

  Yet again her mind thought of another pessimistic thought as she sees that the dark cloud is as thick as the depth of the ocean, preventing the light itself to travel through it, leaving her unsure on what happened to him, allowing her mind to go berserk as she thinks of the worst, as the possibility that the him might be dead is true, all because of her inability to do anything useful for him. It’s so easy for her to fall towards such a deplorable emotional state but, why? Why does he see her in such a good light? Why does he genuinely care about someone like her? She’s only dragging him down, that’s the only thing she will do to him as her personality is one filled with only self-doubt and hatred towards herself. Impossible, there’s no way that someone like her can help him in any way… Then, why does he not believe the same way as I? Is it because he’s the Hero and I’ve somehow twisted his personality in such a way that makes him this na?ve? Ah, maybe that’s the exact reason why I… This is not the time for this, I’m merely taking his role as a narrator as this petite lady is unable to fathom his survival. To make it worse for her weak mind, only the terrifying growls of the foul beast can be heard, the growls of pain as its entire body was close to being smashed. Blood coloured in blue comes out of his three mouths, indicating to anyone that sees it that it's hurt, wounded, damaged by what he did to him. Although it should be dead by now, thanks to those facts that he pointed out previously, it allowed him to survive and even able to do such a nasty and despicable act towards the Hero. Ah, how I despise such beasts.

  However, even if my hatred towards said defects of the world is vivid, the one facing it is the human that I have blessed with my own blessing. The one that I forced the world to recognize as the Hero. The only human that I truly care for. The only one that I can count on. But if he ever fails, the moment that I found his wandering soul I will still embrace him deeply in my arms.

  Soft fire noises!

  Amidst the black cloud a gentle, soft red colour starts to be seen. It starts small but gradually gains size and brightness. Yes, this is the Hero that I’m talking about, such a pathetic magic spell cannot kill him nor will I allow it to happen. No, he’s far stronger than this, he can move mountains with his will alone, let alone with his immeasurable strength that he has, one that he always keeps at bay but always ready to take action against any atrocity. I was the one that chose him, bestowing him with my blessing but, he has proved to me why he deserved such, early on in his life, gaining even my love at the same time because of it. He’s an amazing person, one that I admire, as such a fragile being is able to do such astonishing acts, ones that even the gods are unable to do. I will simply not allow him to die in such a pathetic way, even if I have to break the rules to prevent it. But such drastic measures won’t be needed.

  Swoosh! Fire noises!

  The black cloud that resembles the abysm itself is close to being gone as the light from the fire consumes it, as the fire uses it as fuel to grow even stronger. But as the cloud clears up, it reveals the figure that is causing such a fantastic beautiful phenomenon to happen. It’s no other than my Hero, the one who is causing this as he “creates” a powerful and beautiful Pyro spell.

  “Great Majestic Fireball.”

  He has his strong arm lifted upwards and with also his gentle hand open, facing the palm towards the ceiling, in front of it a red magic circle is present, one that is several meters in diameter, big enough to engulf that ugly beast in one sweep movement for example. From the magic circle a massive ball made of fire is created, one that is perfectly round, perfect just like him, and with the same size as the magic circle, but the flames that surround such perfect shape are something akin to the gentle waves from a serene ocean. They are soft and elegant but at the same time, they hide the most terrifying monster underneath it. A monster that is capable of destroying the world if he so desires. Several shapes of red paint the Fireball, getting softer and brighter at the core while on the outside, the opposite happens, having vivid but also darker red colours on the edges.

  Woosh!

  He’s mere moments from unleashing such a powerful but elegant spell towards something that shouldn’t be allowed to exist. However, there are moments where everything and everyone around him is hit by a strong gust of wind. Each second, in a perfect sequence filled with harmony, a shock wave is released from himself towards the environment around him in a circle like shape, all thanks to the tremendous amount of magic energy he’s currently using but more so emitting to the world. While Great Majestic Fireball is at base an S rank spell on this precise moment, it’s ranked on the lower realm of SS- rank but far, far stronger than that foul beast and even magnitudes stronger than the previous Martial Arts skill he used to cripple him. Yet even though any mortal present here can feel the tremendous amount of magic energy currently present, one that it’s shaking the very core of this small universe, the one that is causing such spectacular and terrifying phenomenon is as serene as the gentle breeze in a spring day, softly waving the blooming flowers with it.

  Until he unleashed such beautiful hell towards the despicable defect that committed such atrocity against him, against the one that I care the most about. A sin that I will never allow the world to forgive.

  Rooush! Fire noises!

  It was a simple body movement from him where he simply lowered his arm. He did so calmly and while staring deeply at his foe, with his mesmerising blue eyes shining and even reflecting the light from the majestic Pyro spell however, they were as serious as the severity of a battle and the rest of his manly face the same way, portraying to the one that is near him that, he’s indeed taking this to another level. With this simple action of his, the Great Majestic Fireball and all of its glory and beauty were shot with such tremendous amount of speed towards the disgusting beast that he was not able to react to it let alone be able to dodge it or even protect himself against it. The sound at first was deep but then it quickly went down, almost as if it first consumed the very air behind it in a way to then propel itself forward towards its target, with such energy behind it that the speed at which it will travel, it is close to matching his early Lightning Dash. But, once it was “propelled” and even though it’s moving at a speed that is illogical from how fast it is, it has calmed down drastically reducing the overall noise from it, leaving only the sound of those elegant but deadly flames to be echoed inside this room.

  That is, until it hit the foul beast.

  Bam!

  It did not explode upon impact instead, it violently hit the foul beast and then forcefully pushed it backwards until he hit the wall behind it, all while the flames do their job, consuming everything they have come in contact with it after all, their temperatures round the 3500 degrees, far, far hotter than basaltic magma, one of the hottest magmas in this Earth. Yet this defect is still “intact”, the barrier that surrounds him protected him from the violent impact however, since it cannot properly protect him against elements, especially against the tremendously extreme temperatures from the flames, he’s doing everything on his power to protect himself even further by using magic for such means. Ah, but what a fool. Unaware of his own weakness and incompetence, struggling for his own miserable life in a futile attempt, only prolonging his suffering even further thanks to it. Indeed, if he wanted to, he could end this in the next very moment as that despicable being is in a vulnerable position, unable to do anything else except beg for mercy. That should be the case if it wasn’t for her, for Miss Pink Orb as he calls her. He still is afraid to act impulsively and bring harm to her in the process. But, my Hero, what else can you do?

  “Tsk, you’re right… It seems that I have to destroy this whole place in order to finish this…”

  And I left my thoughts into the world as for some reason I heard my goddess speaking to me… What? I-I probably imagined it, no way that she spoke to me in a situation like this. While what I said was for the quiet side, it was loud enough that Miss Pink Orb was able to hear it and mind you, she still hasn’t moved a single centimetre or in other words, damn, she really has a good ear, no? However, it really seems that I have to escalate this even more as otherwise, I won’t be able to defeat him. Hitting Cerberus with a physical attack just like I did before prove to not be enough as his barrier and his own magic protecting him is just enough to allow him to survive, barely of course. At this precise moment, my Great Majestic Fireball is crushing him as he is stuck between the spell and the wall although, the wall is getting destroyed by the second as Fireball is still with enough forward memento, pushing him towards the wall even further, slowly destroying the wall with it. This will go on for a few solid seconds, maybe even close to a minute as the Fireball has that much magic energy on it and since it won’t explode naturally, as the time passes it will lose strength as the magic energy it has is consumed. The only way to end this is to make the Great Majestic Fireball explode as it will have more than enough force behind it that it will destroy his barrier and of course blow him into millions of pieces, ones that will instantly be consumed by the magma like temperatures but if I do so, this whole place will go kaboom into smithereens and I even dare to say that the explosion will be strong enough to destabilize this Bubble Universe by its entirety. On the other hand, if I wait too long and let the Fireball consume too much magic energy, the explosion will not defeat him but at the same time, it won’t destabilize this universe. This leaves me in a rather peculiar situation, one that fortunately (or not) leaves me with only one correct answer and that is to wait-

  “Li-light magic! I think he is weak to holy magic!”
